what makes you think a measly $500 is adequate? This isn't an attack, I'm just wondering how you came up with that figure?

I think an apology should come with a modicum of compensation to say you mean it. I don't think the voters would support large payments. I believe that an apology would allow us to move forward once and for all.

I should not have said anything about compensation as this detracts from the current issues.

I agree that we should look forward rather than backwards.

Again, the issue facing voters is that we have two imperfect choices. Which one would you choose? And you do have to choose one over the other.
